Freight pilots vs passenger pilots
Have you ever thought about the differences of freight pilots and passenger pilots? (aerosavvy.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Man, it is my dream to be a cargo pilot for Fedex or UPS! One day, I hope to join you Capt. Aerosavvy! Right now I'm working hard to get there, and I'm only 16 so I can't do too much right now, but every flight hour I gets me closer!
Good luck Paul, realize your dreams.
We didn't have to feed them or listen to the bellyaching of the stews.
And freight doesn't puke or fight with others either.
You mean having the cargo load itself isn't worth it?
The big problem as I see it is that many, many freight operations are at night. This is what is called flying "behind the clock". Those guys and gals are constantly fighting the need to sleep in the dark. They fly 4 days at night then try to adjust to 5 days off (shortened to three if you commute) at home and then go back to the night. Why do you think UPS has "sleep rooms" in the operations center? Fatigue has always been an issue at the freighters. The Captain of the Birmingham crash told his peers that the job was killing him.
Freight don't bi@3h about the landings!
